Been scrolling lazily past my tags in Greader, and came across Virtenna.com, a unique service that plays FM stations of US and UK cities.
Read Killerstartups.com’s review or check out Virtenna.com
Now if only we had such a startup for Indian FMs that have cropped in metropolitan cities and are still hesitant to peek into their neighboring towns.

A friend of mine is home for study holidays from bangalore, and he has quite the time to find out lovely stuff
Pradeep, found out Midome.Com, a website that only requires you to hum a a tune and it will find it for you! sweet. i tried out a test search, the only song i could quickly mumble was Kelis - Lets get it on in public (when i liked one upon a time, i played it back to back for hours ;/)
Anyway, the search didn’t list anything Kelis but some R&B and chinese (Whaat!!) but i was pleasantly surprised with how fast the search was. It’s a must try if you’ve got better sing-a-along skills than me.

And as you are trying hard to get out that wonderful crooning skill, here’s a desktop app for you to keep gazing at Stellarium , a free and Open Source software that is available for all three mainstream OS (Win, Mac & Linux), its a different experience for those who had enough of the earth and want the stars.
I haven’t tried it as yet, although its installation file sits on my desktop Here is a list of features…
Features of Stellarium:
- Default catalogue of over 600,000 stars
- Extra catalogues with more than 210 million stars
- Images of nebulae (full Messier catalogue)
- Realistic Milky Way
- Very realistic atmosphere, sunrise and sunset
- the planets and their satellites

Google’s online office suite received a major facelift and now allows users to organize their documents in a folder view. The old layout was replaced with a frame based view, with folders to organize a large number of documents, created and shared with others. Also easy sharing between users you’ve shared with before, and filtering results dynamically along with types are other new features.

Attachments in email are very useful for distributing files, but often, there are limitations on the sizes of the attachment and the fact that the attachments are sent through a post request is insecure and rather inefficient. There are several other options like uploading to rapidshare or to other uploading services, but again, security, size is an issue. Coming to our rescue is Civil Netizen, a software frontend file uploading and transferring service.
